===========Ways to Free Up Server Disk Space===========1. Empty the recycle binc:\$Recycle.binAsk client if its OK to remove if there is stuff in here.

2. Compress or Delete web site log folders

3. Compress SQL Server backup folderThe default path is usually C:\PerfLogs and each data collector has the reports path clearly defined in the properties.

4. Clean up Performance Monitor ReportsRemove Windows Error Reporting FilesWindows Error Reporting (WER) is a great resource when you need to identify problems on the server. However the logs will accumulate unless you disable the feature or remove the log files. The default path is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER. It will have 2 sub-folders. Leave the folders in place but remove the files contained in the folders. If you don’t want to delete them then at least apply compression on the WER folder.

8. Move the Windows Search Service Database. If you have started Microsoft Search services, please move the Windows.edb file to another drive.( C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows )
